That's true. You have to stay on top of the length with a reel mower which means regularity. You can't plow through really long grass like you would with a gas rotary mower. Fortunately I really enjoy it and look forward to mowing. It's a break from sitting in front of a screen and is kind of like a long walk with a little arm activity too.
